Lifestyle is important in the prevention of stroke. It's important to know what can put you at risk of stroke. You can immediately recognize the symptoms if you suffer a stroke, but much can be done to prevent stroke. Consider some of these things to reduce your chances of stroke:
Quit smoking. Compared with nonsmokers, smokers on average have twice the risk of ischemic stroke.
Avoid the use of hormones as much as possible (especially women). Hormone replacement therapy with estrogen, which is used to relieve symptoms of menopause, can significantly increase a woman's risk of stroke.
Eating vegetables. One reason is that the intake of folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12 associated with low blood levels of homocysteine. Folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12 can also be found in grains and cereals.
Taking aspirin, if your doctor recommends it. Low-dose aspirin regularly prescribed to prevent heart attack a second time, stroke, or "mini-stroke" and was also given to patients who are at high risk of having such a history of cardiovascular disease.
Maintain and control blood pressure and cholesterol. Make lifestyle changes, including eating a diet low in sodium and saturated fat, regular exercise, limiting alcohol intake, and stay slim, it can help you lower your risk of stroke.
